We’re a small team of engineers, composers, and developers building audio
tools for people who care about sound. Everything we make is shaped by
real-world use, not marketing trends.
Co-founder
Mastering Engineer
Stan has mixed on Billboard #1 albums for Rihanna, Big Sean, and Wale,
and multi-platinum singles for O.T. Genasis, Jaden Smith, and others. He
trained under Manny Marroquin and built Master Plan to streamline his
own mastering workflow.
Sam is a software developer and composer with a background in audio/DSP,
web, and embedded systems. He builds functional, studio-grade tools that
don’t look like airplane cockpits. If you ask nicely, he can also cook
up a mean marinara...
Developer
Web & Infrastructure
Alex is a software developer who moved into programming after working in
finance. Alex handles web development, APIs, payments, and product
authorization. She spends time listening to music, baking bread, and
thinking about elevators.
We like tools that feel immediate, sound great, and don’t need a manual.
Everything we add has to earn its place, otherwise we leave it out.
If you’re curious about how we make those calls — or what we’re figuring
out as we go — we write about it on the blog.
Master Plan 2: Three Years In The Making
We spent over three years rebuilding and refining every part of Master Plan, while staying true to what made the original special.

Tightening Bass with Master Plan's Tape
Here’s a hot take: there are basically three elements of a recording that, if nailed, will make the whole thing sound good. Ready for ‘em?

Clicking Labels to Bypass Processes
I want to take a moment to shout out a helpful - but potentially easy-to-miss - feature of literally all of our plugins. Did you know that you can click the label on any control to bypass that process? If you’re a studious manual reader, you probably did; if your approach to plugins/audio/life is more “grip it and rip it,” you might not have! Either way, hopefully I can shed some light on how this little feature can be a useful part of your workflow.
